yeah i remember that scoop. i was all about it. i did some internships and started my northwestern and columbia j-school applications. i still want to write. i've submitted essays to different publications and stuff. we'll see.

Jay and I were on the same ASW cycle for a while. Do you ever wonder which black folks they admitted to NYU? Everyone I know was W/Lsted.

I heard from Cornell shortly after I sent off my deposit to Michigan, but I was too lazily to try to shake them down for money.

Yeah, no need for Columbia or NU J-school after LS. I love journalism, it's just I had hit my wall in the business and it was time to move on or be stuck in the same position for eternity.

I imagine if we were insistent about the w/l we could have snuck in, but I had become too lazy by then so I withdrew.

Good luck in Cambridge, where did you friend Justin eventually wind up?

Never even got a WL letter from NYU. I got nothing whatsoever. At least Penn had sent me a letter saying they were still evaluating and would get back to me by early April. Of course I still hadn't heard from them in May, so I said whatever.

J is going to Northwestern next fall. He got that "we'll give you $$$ if you defer a year" deal.

Yup, same deal I got. They love giving out that deal, must bring up their yield numbers. Good for him.

I got the NYU letter like April 28. It was ridiculously late, I had already sent off my deposit and haggled over my fin. aid money.
